Zymelt
Apparently when combined with diet and exercise, Zymelt ingredients can help you to achieve weight loss by creating fat oxidation and thermogenesis within the body as well as increasing lean muscle mass. It is best to take 1 caplet 3 times per day, with main ingredients such as green tea and forslean. But with no official website and no money back guarantee, we are disinclined to recommend this product.
Price: $39.99
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Zymelt ingredients include vitamin C, calcium, green tea, forslean, l-tyrosine, dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate, and l-alanine. They use largely proprietary blends and insufficient amounts of the ingredients they do reveal such as green tea. Forslean could potentially be a great lean muscle builder, but not in the small 90mg dosage they provide.
Safety
Zymelt is not safe to take if:
- You have a pre-existing medical condition such as heart disease
- You have a family history of medical conditions such as heart disease
- You have caffeine sensitivities
- You have high blood pressure
- You have a liver condition
- You are using an MAO Inhibitor
- You suffer from glaucoma
Possible Side Effects
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Irregular heart beat or blood pressure
- Dizziness
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
Overall Impression of Zymelt:
Zymelt will not help you to control your weight or lose weight. It has some of the right ingredients, but it is far too underpowered to achieve the results you may be looking for. It also lacks some other patented and otherwise proven ingredients that we would prefer to see. In short, we do not recommend Zymelt to anyone looking to achieve serious weight loss.
Zymelite
Created by SelMedica, Zymelite is apparently an all natural, enzyme based weight loss supplement. Some also claim that it “restores possible digestion, heartburn, etc.” So that would be reducing inflammatory bowel type syndromes, but not necessarily promoting weight loss. Many companies have been closing sales or have already discontinued this product. We found it largely still available on eBay.
Price: $67.00
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
We had a difficult time finding ingredients. But apparently it contains lipase, protease links amino acids, alpha amylase, gluco amylase, psyllium seed powder, bromelain, chamomile, lactobacillus cultures, parsley powder, and lavender flower. Just as we suspected, they have undisclosed amounts of some ingredients that could reduce inflammation in the stomach and reduce stomach irritation, as well as a number of waste type ingredients, but no actual weight loss ingredients.
Overall Impression of Zymelite:
Zymelite is truly the definition of worthless. It has no weight loss ingredients whatsoever, and a cover that claims them to be more of a stomach aid. But they only really have one ingredient that would accomplish that goal. If you want a truly stomach soothing ingredient, a product with higher amounts of ingredients like lactobacillus acidophilus could help. But we don’t review those products here, we review supposed weight loss products, which Zymelite is not.
Zylotrim
“Lose 200% more weight, 80% of each pound lost is pure body fat!” This is according to the Zylotrim website. However, this is as far as the official website’s information about Zylotrim goes. Those 2 lines are really the only sales pitch, and they don’t detail the supposed clinical study.
Price: Unknown
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
There are no ingredients listed for Zylotrim. They only offer pitches about what it is supposed to do, but not anything to alleviate the nagging questions surrounding this kind of offer. They don’t even really tell you if it suppresses appetite, works thermogenically, boosts metabolism, etc.
Overall Impression of Zylotrim:
The question is what exactly do we know about Zylotrim, we would say nothing. When you order in the only way you can order, you will notice they word their small print extremely carefully, “Try Zylotrim for only $29.95-receive your risk free trial bottle of Zylotrim plus your free bottle and you are billed just $29.95 today.” So does that mean there is a follow up payment for those 2 bottles, we do know it signs you up for an annoying auto ship program. But how much does it cost on a normal basis? Zylotrim is a scam, plain and simple.
Zylorin
Zylorin promises to supplement your already existing diet and exercise plan by increasing your metabolism. They say they use patented and clinically proven ingredients to achieve this goal. All in all, Zylorin claims they will produce thermogenic fat burning, increase metabolism, suppress the appetite, control sugar levels and cravings, and promote sustained energy levels all without negative side effects.
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Zylorin uses a proprietary blend which contains some proven ingredients such as chromium, which was studied in multiple clinical studies and shown to produce a statistically significant difference in weight loss. It also contains quite a few essential vitamins and minerals for the body.
Chromium is however the only proven ingredient in Zylorin. It also contains hoodia gordonii and green tea, but neither have actually been proven in clinical studies to have any weight loss benefits. Hoodia is also sold at an exponentially higher rate than it is harvested, making it virtually impossible for you to get the real thing anyway. They give a 30 day money back guarantee. But you have to email them to get a return authorization number, or your return will not be accepted. In addition, you have to return the product within 30 days unopened and in resellable condition to get the full refund. Returns after the 30 day mark will not be accepted, and those which are opened, even for those with allergies to some of the ingredients, will be charged a 25% restocking fee and then will receive credit. There are no testimonials to attest to its credibility. The fact is, even if they had more clinical studies and proven ingredients to back their claims or even one testimonial, they push the line on outrageous claims. They make promises it would be difficult to keep, and they do nothing to even try to back them up.
Overall Impression of Zylorin:
While Zylorin uses chromium, which has been shown to work for gradual weight loss, it has nothing else. And frankly, I’m not even sure they include enough chromium to promote that gradual weight loss, let alone high levels. Their “money back guarantee” is stingy, and they make too many outrageous claims. I would look elsewhere for a reliable diet pill.
Zyatrim
The “world’s strongest weight loss compound” Zyatrim is unavailable and “out of stock” with any third party retailers. In addition, the main website states only “we are updating our website, we thank you for your patients.” The line was entertaining, but at the same time disconcerting. There is no further information available about Zyatrim, and we believe it has been permanently discontinued. With a site that can’t evidentally spell “patience” correctly and as far as we can tell, a previously weak formula, we would not recommend this product to anyone.
Zyatonix
Claiming to be a “blockbuster”, Zyatonix shows multiple individuals who apparently lost anywhere from 27 pounds all the way up to 11 with this compound. They ship it internationally and they call it a “revolutionary weight loss compound that is available over the counter.” It apparently induces cell death using aptosis, and it can increase lipolysis, decrease lipogenesis, increase fat mobilization, and increase thermogenesis.
Price: $45.95
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Zyatonix’s disclosed ingredients include Apopadex, a blend of acacia rigidula as well as methylsynephrine, phenylethylamine, cassia nomame, theobromine, yohimbine, and ECGC.
Outside of a few, these ingredients aren’t proven to promote weight loss, let alone in the amounts they refuse to disclose. They don’t even give you a full ingredients list as far as we can tell. Yohimbine for one definitely has no weight loss benefits, but has been connected to quite serious side effects. And phenylethylamine is more of a mood stabilizer and sometimes an appetite suppressant, not a fat burner.
Safety
Zyatonix is not safe to take if:
- You have a pre-existing medical condition or a family history of medical conditions such as heart, liver, or kidney disease
- You have caffeine sensitivities
- You have high blood pressure
- You have a history of psychological disorders
- You are using an MAO Inhibitor
- You suffer from glaucoma
Possible Side Effects
- Insomnia and overstimulation
- Diarrhea
- Irregular heart beat and dizziness
- Vomiting and headaches
- Anxiety, panic attacks, hallucinations
- High blood pressure
- Seizures and renal failure
- kidney damage
- heart attack or stroke
Overall Impression of Zyatonix:
Zyatonix really doesn’t have the ingredients outside of synephrine and EGCG to promote weight loss. They certainly don’t have the amounts required considering they don’t even delve into a full ingredients list, let alone the amounts they supposedly use. As far as we can tell, you would be wasting your time and money with this one.
Z Trim
Z trim claims to be a unique ingredient which helps to “produce delicious foods” which are “lower in calories and fat.” It is a fiber that they say can be used for fat replacement, fat binding, emulsification, shaping, suspension, and appetite control or suppression. It is manufactured from insoluble plant fibers and claims to be able to reduce the obesity problem.
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Z trim is used as a fat replacer, and it is manufactured in an easy to use gel, to be mixed into a variety of foods. When used in quantities up to 50%, it can reduce calories and increase fiber. It can also maintain flavor and texture. Side effects tested seem minimal if at all.
Z trim is only available at www.ztrim.com. So there aren’t a multitude of competitors out there to lower the available price. In studies, while tasters had a hard time telling the difference between Z trim and real fat, it did not manage blood sugar levels or fat as much as other fiber forms. There has also been only one study actually conducted on Z trim in 2002. It has not yet been replicated.
Overall Impression of Z Trim:
Z trim is a relatively new product on the market. As such, they have not fully tested its efficacy or its potential side effects. It has limited availability, and in the one study conducted thus far, it was shown to be not as effective as other available fibers in doing the job it promises. I would wait and see on this particular ingredient.
Zovatol
Zovatol advertises themselves as a “thermogenic fat burning breakthrough” that will start working in 10 days. Their website includes only information about their “free trial offer.” They claim that in the evolutionary chain, our bodies were designed to store fat due to scarcity of food, and we exerted much more energy to obtain that food. In other words, we are genetically predisposed to gain weight. It is made up of green tea, caffeine, capsaicin, and yohimbe.
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
White tea and green tea are great fat burners, and green tea has been used as a powerful antioxidant. It is even included in Oprah’s 10 super foods. Likewise, caffeine is popularly used to promote a higher level of fat burn.
Zovatol however does not use enough of each ingredient to be effective, as is evidenced by multiple customer reviews that warn you to expect 1-2 pounds for each bottle you buy. With the ingredients included, it is a glorified caffeine pill. If you expect to lose a significant amount of weight and keep it off, you will need more than caffeine. Then the only information they post on their official website is information about their “free trial offer.” In a perfect world, this might actually be free. But in reality, nothing is free. They are overcharging you, so you may not pay for the product this month, but you will next month. Then they sign you up for an autoship program you will really only know about if you read the fine print. Autoships like this are often nearly impossible to cancel, and some consumers have had to actually cancel the credit card used to get the charges to stop. Moreover, with companies who use this tactic, it is basically a red flag saying the product itself is worthless.
Overall Impression of Zovatol:
While Zovatol may like to think it is a “breakthrough” product, it is actually nothing more than a glorified caffeine pill. Customer reviews are not good, and they use the “free trial offer” scam. There are too many other better competitors out there to waste anything on Zovatol.
Zotrim
Based out of the UK, Zotrim’s first testimonial states “Zotrim is simple to work into my busy life and highly effective at making me eat less.” They promise sustained weight loss results, and they promise you will feel full faster, feel less hungry between meals, and be more active. They use the blend of yerba mate, damiana, and guarana, and claim they have been used by over 10 million people in the US and Europe.
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Zotrim uses a 3 ingredient blend of yerba mate, damiana, and guarana. These have been proven to work in conjunction and combination with each other to effectively promote gradual weight loss in the general population. Zotrim’s website encourages combining their supplement with diet and exercise to achieve maximum results. Numerous customer testimonials have also attested to the ease experienced in fitting Zotrim into a busy lifestyle.
Unfortunately, though Zotrim makes reasonable claims, the studies do not even back up those claims. One study showed that when used for one month, Zotrim resulted in a total weight loss of 4-5 pounds, and after a year, the weight lost totaled out at 1 pound. The ingredients included have been proven, but apparently Zotrim does not use enough of each ingredient to achieve the desired results. They post testimonials on the website, but I am hesitant to place any credibility behind these due to the fact that falsifying testimonials is so common in the diet pill industry. They do provide a money back guarantee. But you are required to buy at least 2 bottles before you can even attempt to make this return. You are also required to include a letter as to why you would like to return the product so they can assess if you have a “good reason” for requesting a refund. Being that a “good reason” is a fairly subjective matter, it basically tells me they don’t issue refunds.
Overall Impression of Zotrim:
Zotrim claims they can suppress appetite, burn fat, and fit into a busy lifestyle. While the ingredients at face value do back up these claims, the makers do not include enough quantity of each to follow through. They have a sketchy return policy, and I would not feel comfortable recommending this product.
Zotril
Produced by AlphaGen BioTech, Zotril is known apparently for its “clinically proven weight loss results.” Apparently, its main idea is to suppress appetite and help you achieve fast and sustainable weight loss. Most using only an appetite suppressant have not experienced fast results, especially not those who suffer from problems surrounding emotional or binge eating.
Price: $80.00
Ingredients and Mechanism of Action
Zotril apparently contains yerba mate, guarana, damiana, calcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, SE L-tyrosine, and trimethylglycine. How many of these ingredients actually contribute to weight loss? 3 total, and they do not actually work by suppressing appetite. They have to be used in said combination or the individual ingredients do nothing. But you would think the company selling them would at least get the basic mechanics right.
Overall Impression of Zotril:
Ironically, Zotril does not understand their own product. There are no testimonials, no money back guarantee as far as we can tell, no ingredient quantities, which is extremely important, no real information in short. We suspect they don’t use as much of the 3 combined ingredients as would be required for results, and being that that’s their only function, we wouldn’t count on weight loss with Zotril.
